This is such a beautiful story, meeting these three woman and getting to know them was lovely, will we see them find their joy and happiness in the special summer place of Hope Head, a place filled with memories from their past, will it be the place of the future for them?
Erin was a sports teacher, she cycled, surfed and ran but all of that changed when she was hit by a truck while cycling, now her days are spent in rehab and struggling with her life, so when she is invited to her brother Blake’s wedding on the beach at Hope her emotions are running riot.
Jenna is an engineer and fell in love with Blake many years ago as they were studying together mathematical nerds together, how will if feel seeing the man you love marry someone else?
Cassie, best friend of the grooms’ mother, Joanne, has been married three times is now a widow, had plans from her teenage years in Hope Head to become an artist but life got in the way and now she works in an art gallery in Barcelona the invitation to the wedding comes as Cassie is struggling with health and craving a new lease on life.
This story is beautifully told as we learn what each of these woman have gone through the emotions the heartbreak and the hope of joy and Hope Head is the place to hopefully bring them this joy, will they find love and happiness, will they find the life they want and need to see them into the future?
Janette Paul pulled me into this story, made me feel a part of it and I loved my visit to Hope Head on the coast of New South Wales, written with heartfelt love and feeling, it has such wonderful characters that add so much to these woman’s lives, a must read and it is one that I would highly recommend.
My thanks to the author and publisher Macmillan
